I have a lilo boot at the moment which I prefer to grub. I can run lilo from my slackware installation. My problem is that kubuntu will not run. The boot starts but then halts with errors of /etc/fstab not being present.
My lilo.conf has
image=/mnt/hdb6/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386
label ="kubuntu"
root=/dev/hdb6
initrd=/mnt/hdb6/boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-9-386
read-only
which corresponds with what was in image.lst for grub
This worked when with grub, but what looks like a corresponding section in lil.conf does not work. It seems that the root is not being located correctly. I reaaly prefer lilo to grub. What do I need to do to get kubuntu working with lilo?
I have windows on hda
Slackware 10.2, my usual distro on hdb2
Slackware 10.1 on hdb5
Kubuntu on hdb6
I am running lilo from slackware on hdb2. I do not think that
image=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.12-9-386
would work as when I am running lilo /boot/ is the slackware boot directory and the kubuntu kernel is at /mnt/hdb6/boot/
Hello Arubin. Just saw your post yesterday while looking for information to set up my system in the way you did. It works for me. Could you describe the error you get, if it's still relevant?
